14  * copy_from_user_nmi - NMI safe copy from user
15  * @to:		Pointer to the destination buffer
16  * @from:	Pointer to a user space address of the current task
17  * @n:		Number of bytes to copy
18  *
19  * Returns: The number of not copied bytes. 0 is success, i.e. all bytes copied
20  *
21  * Contrary to other copy_from_user() variants this function can be called
22  * from NMI context. Despite the name it is not restricted to be called
23  * from NMI context. It is safe to be called from any other context as
24  * well. It disables pagefaults across the copy which means a fault will
25  * abort the copy.
26  *
27  * For NMI context invocations this relies on the nested NMI work to allow
28  * atomic faults from the NMI path; the nested NMI paths are careful to
29  * preserve CR2.
